The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol held a surprise hearing Tuesday where it heard testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

During the June 28 hearing, Hutchinson was asked what her response was to former President Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 tweet that former Vice President Mike Pence “didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done.”

Hutchinson said, “As an American, I was disgusted.”
“It was unpatriotic. It was un-American. We were watching the Capitol building get defaced over a lie,” she told the committee.

Today’s hearing was announced unexpectedly by the committee Monday and little detail was given prior to its start. The committee originally said it would resume hearings in July, but said the evidence it had compelled them to hold a hearing sooner.
